Entourage’ Ari Gold Site Beats A Dead Chicken With A Hammer

OK. We like Deep Focus and we like HBO. We especially like HBO’s Entourage so when we were sent a link to a promotional site at which you can get get an interview with Ari Gold for a position in his new agency, we had high hopes for the site. Let’s put it this way. Can we, as an industry, right now, right this very second, put a lid on any project even remotely similar to Burger King’s Subservient Chicken? And, for the love of GOD, can we please stop trying to latch onto something that was over the day after Crispin Poprter + Bogusky launched that site?

Yes, this is not exactly the same as Subservient Chicken but that’s not entirely the point here. The Interview With Ari site is just really nor very good. Ari’s responses are not even remotely close to anything we typed in. We know the dude is a clueless a-hole but even Ari can carry on a discussion better than this digital version of himself. So please. Please. For the love of all things advertising, everyone please swear you will never, ever again try to create a Subservient Chicken knock off. OK? Good. We still love Deep Focus and HBO

I’m 37 and I just realized that every major decision I’ve made in my adult life was designed to avoid disappointing people who stopped thinking about me the moment I left the room – and that’s a lesson most people learn too late to rebuild

Psychologists say the clearest sign someone is unhappier than they realize isn’t sadness — it’s when they stop being able to feel joy in things that used to light them up, but they keep going through the motions anyway

The saddest sentence in the English language isn’t “I’m alone” — it’s “I’m used to it” spoken by someone over 65 with a full photo album, a family that calls on holidays, and a Sunday routine that looks from the outside like contentment but from the inside feels like a life that has been carefully organized around the assumption that no one is coming
